Details

The Lanthanides are elements of the periodic system with atom number 57 till 73. The have strong electro-magnetic and light properties.

Autonomy is a major theme, hence the subtitle "Road to independence". The search for freedom can lead to a spiritual development and desire for self-control. The Lanthanides are needed for leading ones own life, going oneís own way. Itís the road to individuality and individuation.

The psychological separation is physically reflected in the immune system and auto-immune diseases. The immune system separates own tissue from foreign substances, it has to find out what "own".

From the Book

New and IndispensableThe Lanthanides have been unknown until now in homeopathy. The pictures had to be ascertained from scratch.

An advantage of the study of the Lanthanides was that I wasnít hindered by previous knowledge. Theyíve become indispensable in my practice in a short time. They have their own and unique picture. And thus curative power.

Hahnemann was very aware of this and expressed it in Aph. 119 of his Organon.

" Every mineral and salt differs from all others, in its external as well as its internal, physical, and chemical properties (which alone should have sufficed to prevent any confounding of one with another). As certainly do they all differ and diverge among themselves in their pathogenetic, consequently also in their therapeutic, effects, so that among them there can be, from a medical point of view, no equivalent remedies whatsoever, no surrogates."

One can conclude from this paragraph that Hahnemann would have been delighted to have the Lanthanides at his disposal. Unfortunately he had to use surrogates!

A good example of the specificity of homeopathic remedies is the Cerium Phosphoricum case: nine months of Praseodymium Phosphoricum gave only palliation and Cerium Phosphoricum cured.

Reviews

"It is indeed a pleasure and honor to write this foreword to Jan Scholtenís latest work, The Secret Lanthanides. I am sure that like his earlier works, this one too will be very useful to the profession. The smile on the face of a successfully treated case is the main reward for such work."

— Rajan Sankaran

"Jan Scholtenís discovery of the Lanthanides as homeopathic remedies has given us even more tools to cure profound pathology. After hearing his initial lectures on the Lanthanides and, subsequently prescribing some of them, I am delighted by the curative results."
